Heating Cars by Steam.

An inventor in Massachusetts thinks he has
solved the problem of how to heat cars by steam
His plan in brief is to lengthen the tender by
say onehalf its present length, and upon the rear
end locate firmly an upright tubular boiler Of
sufficient capacity for tbs steam required the
fuel and water for this boiler to be taken from
the same supply as the locomotive boiler. The
steam would be conducted to the several cars on
the train by means of jacketed main pipes under
the flooring of the cars, connected at the ends by
flexible connecting pipes From this main con-
Quoting steam pipe branches could be used 20
convey the steam to the requisite radiating pipes
in each particular car. The chief advantages of
this plan, the deviser claims, First it reduces
the danger of fire in case of wrecking to mini
mum, as the boiler is substantially part OF the
locomotive attachment to the train Second, 1t
does reduce the ability of the locomotive
boiler to supply steam for legitimate Third,
it adds but little, if any, to the aggregate dead
weight of the train, as at present fitted with the
Baker heater in every car Fourth, it renders
avail. liable the room in the cars now occupied by
heaters and coal bins.
